IWD NPC: a call for playtesters Options

[kulyok]

The Icewind Dale NPCs mod introduces a cast of five new characters to the great frozen wastes of the Forgotten Realms, with all the depth you would expect from PPG companions. The mod will transform the Icewind Dale experience into the story of a single, player-defined protagonist, and his or her fully-interactive allies(alternate classes are available).

Each character comes with a new, original portrait, interactions with the PC and each other, and quest commentary and interjections. Romance is also in the bitterly cold air...

The mod is fully ready, and has been tested by two people already. The only missing element is voicework.

If you'd like to play IWD NPC, you can do it right now!

What's the catch?

The problem with NEJ2 is that it uses too much of IWD content and graphics...

It's funny. Is there any limit for an amount of the original content used in mods?

It's fortunate that NEJ2 hasn't received a cease-and-desist letter yet.

It's more funny...

Barring that, I would still recommend you a good thorough proofreading for NEJ2 dialogues at the very least.

Well, let me note that the writer and my co-author of the NeJ2 content is a professional British novelist. Moreover, the proof-reading was undertaken by professionals. The fact that you don't understand the classic literature English doesn't mean that other people don't. It means that your own English is lacking.

Eventually, let me note that NeJ2 is not a plain IWD --> BG2 transition but a partial conversion with its own plot, different from IWD. Yet further, it's a same dispute what's better BGT or TuTu, so I won't reiterate here. NeJ2 has about double a content of the original IWD, so such debates are not relevant in this case.
